A * Afi crJi f i rs (T Dayton, unio, Aug. *.? 0 ( message to Democrats and Republicans was given by Governor Cox, the former's presidential nominee, in an address today at a local Democratic picfcic. Speaking from a roped arena for taxing events on the picnic program, Governor Cox, avoiding definite issues, declared he would carry the offensive in "a considerable fight" for) which he predicted success. Inci-1 dentally he promised that his address Saturday accepting the Democratic president ai standard could be understood "even by school children." , ^ i i ?? i "Boys, I'm ready for tfte ngm, aei declared to the cheering plaudits of j several hundred members of the Gem 1 City Democratic club of this city. "We need make no defense," the governor continued. "Ours will be the offensive fight from the beginning to the end, and it will be a considerable fight. Make no mistake about that. I havs the faith in me i that there will be triumph of right principles this fall, which will serve notice to Republican leaders for years t nbout to 32 v that it I kV VUMIVt .? < . _ Would be a Democratic triumph. It Will- not be that. It will not be a victory in the partisan sense. It will be a triumph of the right." Turning upon his opponest, the goVertio* continued: "WeVe won before in the same kind of a fight. We'll win again because we're right. "The opposition has been good to us, and the advantages that it has given will be recounted in the stirring days ahead of us. The opposition apparently Jias ' adopted the course of doing what we iarmers Med to do of plowing around the stumps, of seekiag. to avoid the things that-perplex. * **It is with the opposition expediency pure and simple. They attempt to appeal to Ibis group, that group and other grfcupfe, without ti e slightest consideration'of the great menace thereby to-the perpetuity of our government.

Each "ofthese recommendations was taken up separately and discussed thoroughly by the board of directors.

Washington, Aug. 2 (By the Associated Press).?The new passenger fares probably will become effective August 20 and the advanced freight rates August 25, according to a program outlined tonight by Alfred P. Thorn, general counsel for the Association of Railway Executives. Simultaneously with the effectiveness of passenger fares, the increased ? ? ? i 11 _ charges for Pullman travel ana me new rates on excess baggage and milk also will be put in force. Railroad rate experts have begun the preparation of blanket rate schedules increasing the transportation cost on a percentage basis. These will be presented to the interstate commerce commission five days prior to the proposed effective dates. The rate sheets in regular form will be worked out and put in use as soon as the physical work can be done. Until this work is done, local railroad officials will compute the new rates and charges for their respective territories on the basis of the existing rates plus the percentage increase authorized by the commission. "Early as Practicable." While this method of putting new rates into effect would oe unusuaj railroad officials pointed to the suggestion of the commission that the higher'charges be put in force "at as early a date as practicable." By putting the increased rates into effect prior to September 1 the drain on the treasury under the guarantee provisions of the transportation act likely will be ended before expiration of the government's guarantee of earnings to the roads. Officials estimated today that by September 1 the guarantee provisions would have cost the government approximately $650,000,000 for the six months since the passage of the present law. The government had been obligated to continue the $75,000,000 monthly rental payment which was in effect during the federal control as well as to meet deficits, not covered by the rental amount, sustained by the individual carriers, ineiuaea in the charges which will fall on the treasury in these deficits is that portion of the $600,000,000 wage award covering labor costs from May 1 to September 1 when the guarantee expires. Thus the American people will pay one-third of the increased wages for the employees this year in taxes. Cost to Government. With the amount guaranteed the carriers this year and the claims oi the lines for compensation undei their contracts with the railroad administration the roads will have cost the government approximately a billion and a half dollars since the president took over-the properties. Operation of the roads after September 1 under the new rates will vield. according to accountants and tariff experts of the carriers, an annual return of about $1,580,000,000. While these figures were of a preliminary sort the railroad experts believed the freight revenues to be derived under the new charges woulc amount to $1,300,000,000 and the income from passenger traffic $283,000,0Q0. Their estimates, it was explained, were based on the assumption that intrastate rates would be -J with Zlicicaacu tui i i?Yu"uu'b'.' * ? advance authorized by the federa commission in interstate rates. ? The need for increases in intrastate rates was set forth in a reporl forwarded today to various state railway and public utilities commissions by the three state commissioners who sat with the interstate commerce commission during its hearings anc consideration of the rate case. Washington, Aug. 2.?Railroac rate increase authorized Dy tne interstate commerce commissior "should have no appreciable effect on the prices of the vast majority of things which the ordinary con sumer purchases," according to ar analysis of the possible effect of th< advanced rates made public tonighl by W. Jett Lauck, economist for the railroad labor organization. At th< same time Mr. Lauck asserted thai "there would have been no occasior for so large an advance" if the road: had been better managed, made fre< of "water" in capitalization and wer< "not themselves the victims of profi teers to the extent of $.r)00,000,00( a year" in purchase of supplies ant equipment.

For instance by no possible calculation can the in creased rates be made to justify ai increase of one cent per pound in th< price of meat or five cents per pai: i in the price of shoes or ten cents ii (Continued on rage i.)
